MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 

The Economic Scenario

 

India's GDP started to indicate recovery trends since Q4FY10. As per advance estimates the overall GDP growth rate for 2010-11 was 8.6 percent in comparison to 8.0 percent during 2009-10. Further Government is planning for maintaining high GDP growth in the range of 8.75-9.25% for 2011 -12

 

According to the latest estimates available on the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), the general index registered a growth rate of 7.8 per cent in 2010-11 as compared to 10.5 per cent during April-March 2009-10. However, the index for six infrastructure sectors (comprising crude oil, petroleum refinery products, coal, electricity, cement and finished carbon steel) with a weight of 26.68 per cent in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) grew by 5.9 per cent during April-March 2010-11, as compared to growth rate of 5.5 per cent achieved during the corresponding period in 2009-10.

 

The Indian economy compared to other economies have shown remarkable bounce back post recessionary phase and is today rated as one of the most attractive investment destinations across the globe. The net capital inflows to the extent of US$ 18.8 billion in a single quarter as compared to US$ 3.5 billion in the first quarter of FY2011 further strengthens the outlook for the country as a preferred investment destination. However, the current European crisis and inflationary conditions in India makes us predict that the recovery will be uneven in global context for some more time.

 

Industry Scenario

 

EPC and Infrastructure Sector

 

The biggest booster to the economic growth has been the construction industry. The growth in Construction Industry continues to outpace GDP growth for the last few years. In the recent union budget (28 Feb. 2011), it was seen that the spending in infrastructure projects will increase another 23%. In last four years, Indian Government's focus on investment in infrastructure projects has already seen a massive jump; further increase of 23% will only help the economy. It is estimated that total construction spending shall be doubled to Rs 12,189 billion during the period 2008-09 to 2012-13 from Rs 6,217 billion incurred during 2003-04 to 2007-08. There is a huge opportunity for infra spending in the segments of Construction Industry.

 

The Government is also seeking higher investments from the private players through the Public Private Partnership (PPP) Model by making necessary changes in the policy framework. There has been huge potential opportunities in all segments of Construction Industry more particularly, roads, highways, real estate and airports and further, it is expected that other sectors like power, SEZs, metros, ports and urban infrastructure will also be the key drivers for the coming years

 

During the Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012-2017), the total investment in infrastructure is projected to be around INR 41 trillion (US$1 trillion).

 

In 2009-10, expenditure worth approximately 7.2 per cent of the GDP was spent on infrastructure. The government aims to increase the country's infrastructure expenditure to 9 per cent of its GDP by 2014. Investment in the country's infrastructure sector has doubled over the last five years, from 4% of GDP to 8%.

 

Given the economic fundamentals and committed efforts of the government to drive growth, the future of the Indian economy, in particular construction industry, appears to be optimistic.

 

Real Estate

 

The real estate sector in India is of great importance. According to the report of the Technical Group on Estimation of Housing Shortage, an estimated shortage of 26.53 million houses during the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-12) provides a big investment opportunity.

 

The Indian real estate industry is expected to be valued at US$ 180 billion (INR 8,640 billion) by 2020. The real estate sector in India is on a rapid growth trajectory. The real estate sector is a key growth driver of the country's economy. The contribution of the residential segment alone to India's gross domestic product (GDP) is around 5 to 6 per cent.

 

In a short span of time, the industry has evolved from a highly fragmented and unorganized market into a semi-organized market, with a large number of listed companies.

 

In the last decade, foreign domestic investments (FDI) in real estate, has increased due to the growing interest of foreign players in the Indian market. The real estate sector is one of the highest FDI-attracting sectors in India, with recorded FDI inflow of more than US$ 8.9 billion (INR 403 billion) between April 2000 and September 2010. FDI of up to 100 per cent is allowed under the automatic route in most asset classes.

 

Favorable demographics (a young population and increasing urbanization) and growth in the services sector, especially the IT and ITeS sector, have primarily driven growth in the real estate industry.
